Major Uncaugh Sir
I will have to bother you to make an examination at the Pension Office
I wish you would examine the papers on file in the matter of the application of Philip Braun for a pension for services in the Revolutionary War - The Pension was granted in 1830, 1831, 1832 & 1833 or 1834 - The information I desire is before whom the affidavits were made, the person who made them & the dates - Also the date of the first application & if they will allow you to make a brief extract of each paper - and what would be the cost of certified copies if we deemed them necessary after receiving your letter - The information is not to be made use of for getting bounty land, pension, or any thing else from Government as Braun is dead in 1845 and his wife previous & all his children are of age - A suit is pending in our Circuit in which a certain Simon Braun of Franklin Twp claims that he attended to procuring the pension & was to receive one half of the amount of dates & pension is to make inquiry whether the said Simon did do what he pretends to have done -
The suit is to be tried on the 11 th of May & I am anxious to hear at your earliest moment
Yours truly
